  Site Where: 5800 Universal Blvd [map], Orlando, FL, United States, 32819

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling. Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?

It's always good to see The Bangles are still out there performing their greatest hits from our pre-adolescence. It's even better to see The Bangles performing for such a good cause like Pinktober at the Hard Rock Hotel Orlando.

Pinktober is the Hard Rock's month-long breast cancer awareness program where guests can book special guestrooms that are outfitted with pink sheets (embroidered with little guitars) and pink bathrobes. Twenty-five percent of the room rate will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

SLS Kicks Off Their Summer Listening Series

  Site Where: 465 S. La Cienega Boulevard [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90048

Pardon the grainy camera phone photo but we can assure that is up and coming musician Ryan Star performing at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles as the first artist in their new Summer Listening Series. Ah see that there? Summer Listening Series. S-L-S. Clever, no?

The outdoor event, held on the hotel's Garden Terrace, featured an intimate acoustic set from Starr--literally it was just him, an amp, a mike and his guitar. Guests watched the set from the pew-like seating in the center and from cocktail tables scattered on the sides and at the back of the terrace. Drinks and complimentary treats from Jose Andres' Bazaar restaurant were served and goodies like peanut butter pretzels, fluffy cotton candy, gourmet potato chips were for also for sale. (SLS baseball hat, anyone?)

Craig David and Donna Summer Bring 'Hot Stuff' To Cala di Volpe

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: Costas Smeralda, Porto Cervo, Italy, 07020
June 30, 2009 at 11:10 AM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Be still, our beating hearts. You know how Craig David’s been off the scene for what seems like eons? Well he’s coming back in style — by hitting Sardinia to sing his little heart out this summer.

Not just him, either; the posh Hotel Cala di Volpe on the Costa Smeralda is also throwing a concert with Donna Summer on July 25 (Craig’s is on August 13, by the way).

It sounds like a pretty fly setting: around the biggest outdoor seawater pool in Europe, overlooking the sea itself. Starwood, who own the hotel, is calling the summer series “a soundtrack exuding dynamic energy and cool”. Sounds like hot stuff ; we’re telling ourselves we were born to do it (sorry).

Rates here start around 315 EUR (440ish USD) — but they can get pricey; we've seen the same standard room up around 1,110 EUR.

Score Free Live Nation Tix From Hilton Honors

June 26, 2009 at 10:49 AM | by Jenna | 0 Comments

Hotel loyalty programs will give you the hookup this summer — there are free night promos and buy-some-get-some-free deals flying around all over the place.

And now here is this, particularly for summer concert goers and Ziggy Marley or Katy Perry (hehe) fans: the Hilton HHonors loyalty program is givin' out free Live Nation concert tickets to members that book a stay between June 24 and September 30 of this year, and you'll score yo-self a free general admission or lawn ticket to a Live Nation concert (redeemable at participating Live Nation amphitheaters and clubs through December 31, 2009).

Some of the highlights of concerts available: 311 with Ziggy Marley & The Expendables in St. Louis; Coldplay in Wisconsin; Kid Rock & Lynyrd Skynyrd in Charlotte; Katy Perry in Houston. Eh? Any of these sound good to you?

You've gotta be a Hilton HHonors member to score the tickets, and the good news is that there's no limit to the number of tickets one member can get — but the bad news is that you only earn one ticket per stay, regardless of the number of nights.

Sign up for the promo here.

Plush Digs for Dolder Grand's 'Live at Sunset' Festival

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: Kurhausstrasse 65, Zurich, Switzerland, 8032
May 13, 2009 at 2:50 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Summer's here, Europe's calling, and it's music festival season. But the downside to festivals is all that grubby camping. Obviously the folks at the Dolder Grand outside of Zurich feel the same way, because they're offering up some decent digs for Dolder's very own Live at Sunset Festival from July 8-19 this year.

True, they're probably aiming for a different kind of clientele from the usual festy types – they've got Jamie Cullum (July 18th), Katie Melua (19th) and Simply Red (9th) on the festival books. But we're thinking the Cyndi Lauper gig on the 17th would make a pretty fine girly break.

There are two festival packages to choose from. The Live at Sunset Festival deal gives you a deluxe room, a three course dinner, breakfast and one gig, and costs from £293 ($443) per person. Money to burn? Book the Live at Sunset Superstar package and they'll give you all that, but stick you in a superior suite, and throw in a massage and a late checkout. But you'll have to fork out £812 ($1,230) each.

Still, who wouldn't want to pay £812 to see Mick Hucknall, right? To book, email reservations@thedoldergrand.com or call +41 44 456 60000.

Use Your Starwood Points to Get In On Some Jonas Brothers Action

May 12, 2009 at 3:08 PM | by Jenna | 0 Comments

Oh, goodness. Well, nobody seems to be rollin' around in beds of cash quite like the tween dreams The Jonas Brothers, who are to the recession what cockroaches are to the apocalypse. The Atlantis cashed in on the tweeny empire by hosting a whole JoBro getaway last year (now they've moved onto other big fish, i.e. Miss Miley) and hotels around the nation get a lovely little bit of pappy exposure when the stars are snapped going in and out of hotel lobbies.

And now Starwood wants in on some of this action: they've been named "Proud Sponsor" of the Jonas Brothers 2009 summer concert tour. Yes, oh yes. Tweens everywhere will be tugging at Daddy's shirtsleeves, begging to stay at a W on their next family vacay. Or we think that's the idea, at least.

But there are perks here: the company's loyalty program, Starwood Preferred Guest, is giving members to opportunity to use their Starpoints to bid (yes, bid) on VIP packages for the JoBro concerts this summer.

Drink Enough at Landmark Mandarin Oriental and Kelly Clarkson Will Appear

We have long believed that Kelly Clarkson songs can serve as the soundtracks to all stages of any romantic relationship. You start with "Miss Independent," and then you meet someone and suddenly you've got "A Moment Like This." Then you've hit the "My Life Would Suck Without You" stage, and maybe soon you're into "Breakaway" territory (or even "Walk Away") — and then comes "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and maybe "Never Again" and, of course, "Since U Been Gone."

If you're in one of those phases where you're into those last three songs, maybe you're — oh, we don't know... drinking the pain away or partying to celebrate your new single status? And here's something kinda awesome: if you drink enough at Hong Kong's Landmark Mandarin Oriental — that is, you spend HKD 5,000 (or $645ish USD) — Kelly Clarkson will appear, and not just due to boozey hallicunations. You'll actually score tix to an intimate Kelly Clarkson acoustic concert, which are not on sale to the public. Sweet.

No Doubt Kicks Off Comeback at the Borgata

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: One Borgata Way [map], Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States, 08401
May 4, 2009 at 2:30 PM | by shiralevine | 3 Comments

Back from those long walks along California beaches with husband Gavin Rossdale and babies Kingston and Zuma (as heavily, heavily chronicled by People and Us Weekly), Gwen Stefani and her band No Doubt kicked off their world tour at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in New Jersey on Saturday night.

Perez Hilton reported a Zuma sighting at the concert and then cited the singer shouting to fans: "Its so good to be back after five f-ing years" and "I forgot how adorable you all were!" (Good thing Zuma was sporting big blue headphones; he probably didn't hear his mom say the F-word). No sign of Gavin and Kingston, though. Maybe they were having some father-son bonding time workin' the BlackJack tables.

Following the show, the 38-year-old mommy showed she could turn it out late night along with Jersey's finest, as she was spotted partying at the hotel's club mur.mur into the wee hours.

Atlantis Bahamas Positions Itself as the Ultimate Tween Hotel

You know those Disney commercials where the little kids are all, "I'm too excited to sleep!" because they have a trip to Disneyworld planned for the next morning? Yes, well: it seems that The Atlantis Bahamas is dead-set on making itself the go-to megaresort destination for tween-types the way Disneyworld is the ultimate playground for the slightly younger set. Perhaps we will soon be seeing commercials for Atlantis with Abercrombie-clad pre-teens exclaiming that an upcoming trip to Atlantis is making them too excited to sleep.

The evidence? You may recall the resort hosting the Jonas Brothers Weekend in Paradise, in addition to Fergie, Kelly Clarkson and Demi Lovato performances in recent months. And now: Miley Cyrus is coming.

Oh yes, folks: on May 16th, 2009, the Bahamas event of the century will be going down. As part of the Atlantis Live! concert series, the singer slash "actress" will be performing. And you can reserve a three-day, two-night Miley Cyrus Weekend in Paradise package for the ultimate experience, which includes accommodations, round-trip ground transfers on the island and tickets to the Miley concert, starting at $499 per person and and $209 per child 11 and under.

And, um, we will wait patiently for Zach Efron to launch a full-blown music career and to have his debut concert here.

You'll See Plenty of Cleave at the Newer, Sexier Cleve This Weekend

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: 1020 Ocean Drive Miami, FL [map], Miami Beach, FL, United States, 33139
April 27, 2009 at 11:35 AM | by Jenna | 1 Comment

The iconic Clevelander Hotel ("The Cleve," if you will) in South Beach has just emerged from a multi-million dollar renovation, debuting this weekend with 60 spruced-up rooms and "Rockstar" Suites, revamped bars and public spaces, a brand new Rooftop Terrace and Sun Deck, and a new indoor nightlife venue called 1020 Music Boxx.

The newly-restyled rooms look fly: they now have Egyptian Cotton bedding, black-out curtains and noise-reducing wall systems (these are nice in Miami), free WiFi, HD TV's and rain showers. The room decor "features deep-blue abstract designs and artwork of underwater scenes" that complement its ocean views or South Beach views.

The Cleve is celebrating the debut of its new look in true Miami style: with an all-weekend party. Its Grand Re-Opening Weekend kicks off on Friday night and lasts all the way to Sunday, packed with live performances and lots and lots of booze — and probably lots of cleavage, too. According to Soul of Miami, The Clevelander opens to the public at 9:00 PM on Thursday, April 30th, where Gym Class Heroes and The Academy Is... will perform on the Pool + Patio Deck.

The rest of the weekend's schedule:

Friday, May 1st: DJ Jazzy Jeff Performs on Pool + Patio Deck: 8:00 PM
djMIA Performs in 1020 Music Boxx: 10:00 PM
Saturday, May 2nd: DJ Irie + Sky Nellor Perform on Pool + Patio Deck: 2:00 PM
DJ Z-Trip + Star Eyes Perform on Pool + Patio Deck: 8:00 PM
Jungle Brothers Perform in 1020 Music Boxx: 10:00 PM
Sunday, May 3rd: Inner Circle Perform on Pool + Patio Deck: 2:00 PM

More info can be found here; rates at The Clevelander start at $179 and renderings of the new rooms are shown (in teensy images) on the website.

Wollywood Gets A Little Help From Depeche Mode

Where: 6282 Hollywood Boulevard [map], Hollywood, CA, United States, 90028
April 21, 2009 at 6:02 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

The W Hollywood won't be opening until November but thanks to Depeche Mode, the upcoming hotel will be the backdrop for a free concert that the band is holding this Thursday for the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show. The LA Times reports:

Concert planners say the event is designed to both promote the band's new "Sounds of the Universe" album and world tour as well as the "return of Golden Age excitement and lifestyle" to Hollywood with the new W Hotel. The $350-million development, scheduled for completion this fall, includes a 305-room hotel and 143 adjoining luxury condominiums that will come with hotel concierge service.

Sadly, all the free tix to the concert are gone but you can still get a chance to attend by listening to KROQ-FM (106.7) for chances to win tickets. Also, Kimmel's in-studio audience at the nearby El Capitan Entertainment Center will be able to attend.
